About to land on Mun. Tiny fuel suply

[SmashingKirby148]

I'm about to land on the Mun, but I have a very small amount of fuel. Help?

(yes, I drew that :3)

Hope for the best. Fire engines to slow down as late as possible. You might want to use F5 to quicksave.

You are not so much going to land, as smash into the mun at approx 200 meters per second. Check out a helpful delta V map for your next attempt!

If you are at extremely low fuel, i would probably do what i can to ABORT THE LANDING.....

If you are feeling like its possible, save before landing, and hope for the best, if fail after 2-3 attempts, its just cant be done without refueling or a new ship. Generally u need quite a bit of dV to land on the mun, as while its low gravity, its not exactly minmus that requires like 50 dV to land.

Well as long as your lander is a 1 man lander can, a poodle, some landing legs and an S3-14400 fuel tank that's plenty of fuel.

I have some material science bays at the sides with goo canisters. Is that good?

[SmashingKirby148]

Ok, now I'm on the Mun, but have now fuel, or an engine, and I can't revert the launch. Poor Jebadiah. XD

Rescue mission!! Those are always fun.

Congrats on your successful lithobraking maneuver!

Dammit, I don't have enough fuel. Have to use infinite cheats. ARRRGH. >.<

Another point of contention, if coming into a body and you know you are about to run out, depending on where you are landing - Abandon ship and EVA, have saved Kerbals on mun and minimus that way a couple times. (Heck on Minimus if you get lucky you can burn EVA back into a low stable orbit hehehe)

The picture isn't particularly helpful. Perhaps ones of the craft in its entirety with the resources tab open? (If it's a complex craft, the map view overall mass also.)

DON'T DOOOO IT!! - send a rescue mission with more fuel and an empty seat in the module and rescue him - if you don't have life support mods then congratulations you've just started up a Mun colony - you can rescue him whenever you get the right skills, parts, funds!

Send a refuel ship and dock with your lander. * Stay in low orbit around Mun and make sure both are going in the same direction

1. Top up fuel tank(s) and undock

2. De-Orbit the lander

3. Do whatever your were planning on doing on Mun

4. Make sure you take off and head in the right direction. Same orbital rotation as the refuel ship (take off when it is overhead)

5. Dock with refuel ship

6. Top up fuel tanks and undock

7. Deorbit refuel ship so it crashed into the Mun

8. Head home to Kerbin
